What if you were first to discovera family member in an emergency?
Would you know what to do?
Farming is an occupation that exposes workers to
many hazards. The key to surviving is not getting
caught by these hazards. This program shows educators
how to deliver the Farm Family Emergency Response
Program in their community. Various modules
are presented that depict typical farm injury incidents.
INSTRUCTOR QUALITIES
Typical instructors for this program include Cooperative
Extension Educators, hospital personnel, agricultural
teachers, and emergency service instructors. Educators
with a strong knowledge of agricultural practices
as well as rescue and patient care procedures make
ideal instructors.
As an educator, you can make a positive difference in
helping farm family members prepare for emergencies
on their farms. One strategy in becoming prepared for
an emergency is to identify and eliminate the hazards
that could lead to such an emergency. Your actions as

reducing the incidence of death and injury on local
farms.
